Republicans (still) losing online; But we're trying

The well-respected co-founders of TechPresident, Andrew Rasiej and Micah Sifry, have a column in today's Politico which looks at a number of online indicators and conclude -- once again -- that the outlook isn't too good for the GOP. TechRepublican contributor Patrick Ruffini is quoted throughout the piece.

Rasiej and Sifry, both individuals I'm proud to call friends and colleagues, are right in their assessment of the current situation. In fact, it's almost the exact same argument and conclusion I made a few months ago in the same publication.

Look, we know we're losing. We've said as much a few months ago.

But what are we going to do about it?

Should we just mail it in and call it a cycle? Should we cede victory to Hillary Clinton and focus on 2012?

For me, the answer is no. I'm not willing to give up. The stakes are too high.

And I've made the decision with many others to "put some skin in the game."

In fact, I'm personally working on four projects -- some you know about, some you don't -- that I hope will help right the ship before we hit the iceberg. And there are at least half-a-dozen other projects out there that friends and colleagues are working on that might help. There are probably more.

We're out here. Fighting in the Revolution because we know what will happen if we don't. Win or lose in 2008, it won't be from a lack of trying.
